Knicks coach Mike Woodson confirmed that the team is working towards buyouts of two players Saturday; guard Beno Udrih and forward Metta World Peace. Both buyouts had been reported earlier in the day, so Woodson was confirming that the team is looking to get out from under the players' contracts.

Udrih and World Peace have both seen their roles shrink dramatically recently. Udrih is averaging just 5.6 points per game in 31 appearances, while World Peace is averaging 4.8 points in his 29 appearances.

Knicks forward Metta World Peace informed his fans on Twitter that he and his agent are working on a buyout, which could be finalized as soon as Saturday.

World Peace has seen his role diminish as of late. He was held scoreless in seven minutes off the bench Friday at Orlando. He has appeared in six of New York's last 11 games dating back to Jan. 28. He has appeared in 29 games this season, averaging just 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 13.4 minutes -- all career low numbers for the 34-year-old.

Knicks forward Metta World Peace is open to being traded before the upcoming deadline, according to the New York Post on Saturday.

"That's up to my agent. I don't worry about it. I'm optimistic about my future. … I'm not going to complain."

World Peace has dealt with knee issues all season, and has been limited to 27 games this season, averaging only 5.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest. A source close to World Peace said that he lost weight during the time away for his blood injections and his knee feels much better.
